According to the report, Moon's agent wired the money to a bank in Southern California at the request of a man named George French Jones. In return, Jones would deliver four floor seats to Heat home games. The seats were considered an opening for Moon to buy a 5 percent stake in the team. Forbes magazine recently estimated the value of the Heat franchise at $770 million; 5 percent would be $38.5 million. It's not known how much Moon would have had to pay Jones.

The tickets were never delivered, KTTV reports, and Jones — a career criminal, according to documents obtained by KTTV — soon disappeared. Moon's company is suing Jones to recoup the money.

KTTV also reported that Jones also tried to scam at least two other former NFL players, Charles Woodson ($50,000) and Jarvis Green ($25,000).

KTTV could not reach Moon, his company or his agent for comment. The NBA and the Heat declined to comment, according to KTTV.
